To all whom it may concern:

Belt known that I, J OHN F. OHMER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Dayton,

in the county of Montgomery and State of 'sg Ohio, have invented certainnew and useful exact description or the invention, such Improvements inFare-Registers; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, andas Willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to makeand use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, andto the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form apart of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in iare registers and comprises asingle fare, register, or a register adapted to take care of a singledenomination of fare in duplicate; to indicate'such' fare by means of apermanent indicator; to furnish separate records from the duplicateprinting; counters, and to record and indicate the total fares orpassengers upon a separate bank of counters which are,

actuated simultaneously with each operation of the duplicate printingcounters. One of the records is taken by the conductor 01 conductorsoperating the registerfor a definite period or periods, and theconductors alone have access to this record; the other record is takenby the cashier, inspector or other authorized person, and suchpersonalone has access to such record The record taken by the cashier orinspector may cover a period of a'd ay or a longer period, and it willshow the work of the diiierent conductors operating the register fromthe time the last record was takenand removed by the cashier orinspector, These two records, to-wit.tl'1e conductors record and thecashier or.inspectors rec- 0rd are duplicates and are delivered intoseparate compartments. I

in addition to the means for registering the Earescollected induplicate, and for taking in duplicate, printed records of such fares,

means are provided for showing upon such duplicate records othermiscellaneous data, such for example, as the month and the day, thenumber of the register, the number of fares collected by each conductorand the denomination of the fare.

In the drawings-I have shown one of the statements as hearingtheconductors identification mark, and the otherstatement tc-witthe.conductors statement, ascontaining his 5 5 signature and by which 1sidentified;

in duplicate, and

it l i be readily seen, however, that both statements may contain animpression of the conductors identification mark by duplicating theconductors identification key, and pro-- viding a suitable opening forit.

The present invention relates to the type of fare register shown anddescribed in United States Letters Patent No.' 646,757 granted to myselfApril- 3rd, 1900, and United States Letters Patent No. 694,322 grantedto myself and others jointly with me, February 25, 1902. Registers ofthe type disclosed the above-mentioned patents provide means forregistering a multiplicity of different denominations of'fares, and fortaking printed records showing a classification of the differentdenominations of fares collected, with other miscellaneous data, suchfor example, as the conductors identification mark, the number of theregister, the -months and the days thereof, and the trip numbers.

The present invention differs from the above results to this extent,that a nomination of fare is recorded in duplicate and duplicate recordsare taken from the counters, such records being intended for differentauthorized persons, to-witthe conductor or conductors collecting thefares, and

the cashier or inspector. The duplicate records also show the number offares collected the denomination of the fares. v

The present invention also comprises means for separating and inclosingin separate compartments the duplicate records,- oneof such compartmentsbeing designed to receive the conductors record and to which he alonehas access, and-the other compartment being designed to receive thecashier or inspectors record, and to which the cashier or inspectoralone has access.

The invention further comprises means for simultaneously actuating theduplicate counters from a single operating device, such operating devicealso servingto simultaneously actuate a corresponding set of counterswhich are otherwise known as trip or passenger counter wheels.

The identifying means associated with the register record are fullydescribed and shown in Letters Patent No; 694,322 hereinbefore referredto, and the means for identifying such records with the dates and othermatter are .more' particularly shown and described in Letters Patent No.646,7 57 hereinbeforesingle dereferred to it will therefore, not benecessary to make more than an incidental mention of these features inconnection with their embodiment in the present invention whichcontemplates the provision of means whereby one or more conductors areenabled to take their individual records from the register, the same tobe turned over vto the cashier with the fares collected, and with theknowledge that a duplicate of such record remains in the register, andthat such duplicate record may thereafter be checked or audited againstthe several conductors records previously taken and removed.

In a detail description of the invention, similar reference charactersindicate corresponding parts.

The casing '1 is of suitable design and size to accommodate thecapacity. of the machine or register,-which 1S fora single fare,

such for example, as ,five cent cash fares.

Thefront face of the casing'has-anupper sight opening "2 through.which'is visible the numbers. appearing on the trip or passengerindicator wheels to be againreferred, to. '3 And another. sight opening.3', through which the permanent fare'i'ndicator 3 isvisible,

6 and. 7,.the latter being adapted to contain" one of the duplicaterecords such as is shown in Figs. 7 or 8, and the other compartmentbeing adapted to contain the other duplicate record. Access is o.)taified to these compartmentsthrough doors ,4. and 5 which are securedby means of suitable locks 4 .and 5".

The primary -actuating ratchet wheel .11- is fast upon shaft 8 havingsuitable bearings in the framework. Engaging this ratchet wheel 11 is asingle ratchet pawl 14 carried upon a supporting arm 12 which is looselymounted upon the shaft 8 adjacent to said ratchet wheel. Engaging thepawl support 12 to raise and lower it and herewith the pawl '14, is asingle actuating member 13 having projections 13 between which the .freeend of the pawl support 12 is projected.

Projecting from the rearward side of the. actuating member 13 is a lug13", said. lug projecting through a slot l in the rear side of theirlclosing case. This lug or projection 13 is engaged by the operatingmeans (not shown) and through which'said actuating member 13 is liftedto impart movement to the ratchet wheel 11 and shaft 8 through the pawl.14. Theratchet wheel 11 has fixed 'to one side thereof a ten toothedwheel 16 and a single toothed wheel 22; the ten' toothed wheel impartsmovement to the unit printing counter 23, and the single toothed wheel22 transfers to the tens printingc ounter 2 1. The transfer wheels 29and 30 are loose on the shaft 8 and through these wheels 29 and 30 thehundreds and thousuch printing counters which are identically the samein every particular withthe exeeption of. the .ratchet wheel 11 throughwhich the shaft 8 is actuated by the pawl 14.-

The actuatingften toothed wheel 16 of the duplicate counters-is fastupon, the shaft 8 and imparts movement to the duplicateunit- .'wheel23%". {Attached to-said wheel 16 is a single toothed wheel" 22 whichimparts movement. to the tens pri'ntir ig counter'24 'Thehun'dreds andthousands printing counters 25* and 26 are, actuatedthrough thetransfer-wheels 30 'and 29 which are loose up'on the shaft SV 78'and 78designate de vices for printing the register number upon the duplicaterecords, the mark being indicated on the records by 17 these devices arefast on shaft 9.

' Interposed between the duplicate printing counters upon shaft 9 areduplicate printing wheels 10 and 10" which are united by means ofasleeve 15. The peripheries of these printing wheels are provided withprinting characters indicating the denomination of farewhich isregisteredupon the du- H plicat'e printing counters, for example, cashupon theprinted record or records that the fares counted upon theprinting counters are of that denomination. These fare denominationprinting wheels 10 and 10 do not retate but are made stationary by beingattached by means of a screw 17 to a web 13 whichextends between collars19 and 19 which loosely surround the respective shafts 8 and 9. Theprinting wheel 10 has a series of openings 20-.see Fig. 5, through anyone of which the screw. 1.7 is projected in securing said printingwheels 10 and 10 to the web 13. It will be seen that a single set ofthese fare-denomination printing wheels 10 and iO may be associated witha set of duplicate counters upon which are registered any otherdenomination of fares, for example, if the register is utilized forregistering any particular denomination of fare, these printing wheels10 and 10 are adjusted to positions to print such denomination of fareand are then made secure in such position by the screw 17. As theregister is now shown, the

duplicate printing counters are utilized .to'

register and print cash fares; should it become desirable to utilizesaid counters to register and print any other specific denomination offares, for example, tickets, the printing wheels 10 and 10 may beadjusted to the positions to bring the printing characters indicatingtickets into printing alinement with the printing counters, and then bemade secure in such position by means of the screw 17 penetrating thenecessary opening 20 in wheel 10.

As thus far described, it will be seen that upon a single shaft thereare mounted duplicate printing counters adapted to register and print aspecific denomination of fare-towit-cash fares, and associated with saidprinting counters are duplicate fare-denomh,

nation printing wheels 10 and 10. There are also mounted upon the sameshaft duplicate dale printing wheels consisting cf month wheels 21 and21 andcday wheels 27 and 27. These date-wheels are loose upon the shaft9 and are actuated to printing positions, at the beginning of each dayswork by the following means: 28 and 28 are finger wheels exposed on theouter side of the casing and bearing on their peripheries the 31 is astationary ointer lying across the peripheries of sai wheels and servingto indicate the p'ositions of the wheels in setting the same to thedeslredkdate;

v21 and 27.

these wheels have telescopic shafts 32 and 33. The inner shaft 33 isconnected with the month wheel 28 and is in alinement with the shaft 3but has no connection therewith, and likewise the outer telescopic shaft32 has no connection with the shaft 8, said shaft 32 being connectedwith the date wheel 28. The inner shaft 33 is connected with the monthwheel 28 and carries upon its inner end a spur wheel 34 which engages aspur Wheel 35 fixed to the month printing wheel 21;. the outertelescopic shaft 32 of the month wheel 23 has upon its inner end spurwheei 36 which engages a spur wheel 37 fixed to the date printing wheel.27.

I have thus described the means for actuating one set of date printingwheels and wi ll next describe the means for actuating the duplicate setof date printing wheels 21 and 27 which lie at the other extreme end ofthe printing wheel shaft 9.

38 and 39 are spur wheels loose upon shaft 8 and meshing with spurwheels 40 and d1 of the duplicate set of date printing wheels Engagingthe spur wheel 38 is a smaller spur wheel 42 on shaft 43 and en-v gagingthe spur wheel 39 is a smaller spur wheel 44 011 shaft 45, said wheels42 and l4- being fast upon "their respective shafts 43 and 45. Theseshafts 43 and 45 are mounted parallel to each other and parallel to theshafts 8 and 9 in suitable hearings in the frame and are geared to thedate finger wheels'28 and 28 through spur wheels 46 and 17, the formerbeing fixed. to the shaft .45v and the latter being fixed to the' shaft43.

The spur wheel 46 is engaged by the spur wheel 34 which as beforestated, actuates the printing month wheel 21 directly. When the fingerwheel 28 is rotated, the duplicate month printing wheels 21 and 21 aresimultaneously actuated through the spur wheels 34.-35-46 44 and 39.Spur wheel 47 on shaft 43 engages spur wheel 36 on the inner end of thetelescopic shaft 33 which as before stated, is connected to the datefinger wheel 237 As before stated, spur wheel 36 is also geared tospurwheel 37 of the date printing wheel 27, so that when the finger wheel 28isrotated to set the duplicate date printing wheels 27 and 27 in thedesired printing positions, the said date printing wheels aresiinultaneously rotatedfrom the wheel 36 40 respectively.

48' is a conductors identification printing key or device which isinsertible through a key opening 49 ina side of the casing and bearsupon its innef-end a printing character denoting the particularconductor who has possession thereof; the other functions of thisprinting key are fully described in former patent No. 694.322 to whichreference has already been made: 1

The dupl cate records asshown 1T1 '7 and 8 arefmade from two separaterolls of 1 registration of duplicate fares is signaled paper and '51mounted in the base of the machine in alinementwith each other. The websfrom these rolls are withdrawn between two feed'rollers 52 and 53 abovea pressure pad,54 which elevates said Webs against the printing deviceswhich are alined upon shaft 9,, and which-"include the duplicateprinting counters, the duplicate date printing wheels, the duplicatefare-denomination rinting wheels, and the conductors identificationprinting key, and register identification de vices. The ressure. ad 54is actuated by an eccentric a1: 56, the latter being turned by the key56 which is inserted in the key hole 56", and theprinting devices areinked by an inking roller 55. The printing devices with the exception ofthe inking roll 55 are mounted upon side plates 56 which are nlngedat57; these printing attachments are substantially the same as shown anddescribed in former patents hereinbefore referred to.

Actuated simultaneously with the duplicate fare printing counters is aset of counters 58-59 and 60 which are otherwise known as tri orpassenger wheels, and the purpose 0 which 'is to count or totalize thefares or passengers for a single trip or for any numher-of trips. Thesecounters are of the well known construction being interconnected onewith the other, so that the unit wheel will transfer to the tens wheeland the tens wheel will transfer to the hundreds wheel and so on. Theactuating. member 13 throu hwhich the printing counters are operated isconnected at its upper end to a link 61 which is pivoted to an actuatingframe 62, which in turn, is loose upon the shaft 63 of said counters5859 and 60. The actuating frame 62 carries a ratchet pawl 64 whichengages a ratchet wheel 65 fixed to the unit wheel 60 of senger countersare set to zero by imparting movement to their shaft 63 from a fingeriece 66 through gear wheels 67 and 68, the hatter wheel being fixed tothe counter. shaft 63. In setting said counters to zero, the

shaft 63 picks up each wheel and carries said wheels in a, body to theirzero setting positions, substantially as is described in my formerpatent No. 718,868 of Jan. 20, 1903.

Means are provided for compelling a complete movement of the individualactuating member 13 and consist's of a ratchet 69 made first totheinner'side of said member 13 and engaged by a awl 70 which is pivotedto a lever 71, the atter' being pivoted to. a stationarypart ofthe'frame 33072, and controll'eiel hya compression spring 173; Each upona bell 74 through a hammer 75 which is actuated from a trip piece 76engaged by alu 77 carried upon the actuating member 1 3. 1g. lndicatesthe conductors record; upon this record an impression of theconducto'rs'identification key 48 is not made,

spectors record as shown in Fig. 8, contains an impression of the'conductors identifies tion key which appears at the right hand columnupon the record sheet.

. WVhile I have described my single fare regoe whose ister as utilizedwith a single denomination of fare, to-wit cash fares, it 'will beunderstood that the sa inev may be converted instantly to a single fareregister for any other specific denomination of fare, the only change inthe entire machine necessary to so convert it, is the-changing of thepermanent indicator 3. The indicator holder 3* is shown to contain anumber of cards, any one of which may be utilized as a permanentindicator by remov' ing the one in front.

Theclass or-denomination of the fares registered and indicated in theregister may be determined upon the records .or statements taken fromthe machine by means other than a printed or impressed character, forexample, by using diii'erent'colors ofrolls of paper,

a certain determined color being employed to designate or identifyv acertain class of fares, or the ink roll or rolls may be supplied withdifierentcolored inks to print upon the paper the rolls of which are thesame color.
